FIRST FRIDAY
Arts & Culture
The Vegas Fringe Festival, the valley’s own two weekend live theater festival, is returning to Las Vegas Little Theatre for its third year.
As Las Vegans ponder the continuing revitalization of downtown, one rule has become clear: Even starving artists need to eat, and art galleries alone don’t make a neighborhood.
This week’s event highlights include Strawberry Fest at Las Vegas Farmers Market, Richard Hampton’s tribute to Kenny Rogers, Jazz on the Terrace at Brio Tuscan Grille and Earl Turner at the Suncoast Showroom.
For a bead or glass maker, every day they go to open the kiln, or oven, to see their finished creation is like Christmas, according to bead maker Darlene Hayes. “You get to see what you created for the first time,” Hayes said. “You never know how it turned out.”
The Art Festival of Henderson returns for Mother’s Day weekend offering new entertainment and art vendors.
Event highlights this week include a free photography class led by Diana Peterson, a Centennial Hills Library exhibit curated by Susanne Forestieri of drawings by University of Nevada, Las Vegas students and Wow! That’s Engineering!, a program for girls in grades 5-8.
Event highlights this week include “ABBA The Concert,” an Abba tribute showat the Eastside Events Center, Rick Arroyo’s Latin Jazz Quintet at the Winchester Cultural Center and the “Art in Action: Spring Break Teen Art Camp Art Exhibition.”
Event highlights this week include the final weeks for the Curious George exhibit at Lied Discovery Children’s Museum and the last week for “SPACE: A Journey to our Future” at the Springs Preserve. Also planned are an Indian food, entertainment and cultural festival and canine celebrations in the Huntridge and McNeil neighborhoods.
Event highlights in North Las Vegas include Kiwanis Kite Day and performances by the College of Southern Nevada Concert Band, Big Band, Singers, Chamber Chorale, Jazz Singers and students of the voice classes.
